Description
The Lascaux Sirius Primary System is a five-primary color system that is based on the traditional three color system. The five primaries are magenta, red, yellow, cyan and ultramarine, with black and white as the secondary colors. The system can be mixed easily and with precision to create a variety of colors, with warm and cool tones definable as logical opposites on either side of the red and blue primaries. The system has several advantages, including its ease of use for introductory courses, in schools and academies, and its ability to create a balanced color wheel with only a few hues. When adjusting the lightness and darkness of a hue, the color intensity and consistency remain intact.
